Abstract:
The invention relates to chimeric norovirus VP1 proteins containing the S-domain of VP1 of a first norovirus strain and a P-domain that contains at least a portion of the P-domain of VP1 of a second norovirus strain. The invention also relates to nucleic acids that encode the chimeric VP1 proteins, virus-like particles that contain a chimeric norovirus VP1 protein, and to immunogenic compositions.
